Research Notes on Whiplash
Whiplash is when the soft tissues of the neck are injured by a sudden jerking or "whipping" of the head. This type of motion strains the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion. The most common causes of whiplash is from car accidents. When a vehicle stops suddenly in a crash or is struck from behind, a seat belt will keep a person's body from being thrown forward, but the head may snap forward, then backward, causing whiplash.
